I'm spanish and I find this pretty funny.

Yeah, I laughed at it too xD
Area 9 is literally a line... this isn't good...Kinda concerned at the lack of areas in the north. Areas 9 and 10 are just surrounded by so much unused space. I hope it's just the style of the map and some of it will be used.
Lol where is this copy pasta from?I have to admit, Pokemon games that are influenced by western European countries are not appealing to me. It's part of the reason why I dislike X/Y so much and why I may dislike this region as well. Gold/Silver will forever remain my favorite region only because it evokes the feeling of being foreign and ancient.

My own thoughts?
You'll never stop saying it and people will never stop calling the map linear. You can make the same claims with almost every other gen saying it's linear, or a circle. We've already seen that the map isn't 1 to 1 in several cases but people will still see it and jump to conclusions.How many times does this have to be said, the map is not a 1 to 1 representation of the actual in-game map...
I have a feeling the snow area is gonna be a surprise because of how small it seems compared to the rest of the region. Like the mountains must be explorable or there could be a cave or two hidden away.
Shouldnt be only Spain but Iberia. Spain + Portugal would be quite nice.Same here, in spain we love our dark humour and laughing at us.
Also I would love a future pokemon España as it was rumoured for gen 8 a year ago for a future gen. But I suppose they will go africa, south america or australia next.
As someone noticed in 4chan (yeah, that place)

This is like arming a baby with a pistol. Stop giving Game Freak ideas!
I think its gonna be the tank of the group. Beyond that what I have in my mind is that as a Goalie Fire Rabbit, it will gain football cleat style foot spikes to climb and keep its ground, while also gaining steel gauntlets akin to a pair of goalie gloves.
Doubles didn't exist until Gen 3 and the first VGC was in 2009 using Platinum, so technically doubles hasn't always been the go-to format.Something to remember is that 6v6 has always been more of a fan created format, hence why you see Smogon running their own "suspect tests" and having their userbase vote on stuff to see if they're broken. However, I'd argue this is an awesome strength of Pokemon: its gameplay makes it very customizable rulset wise, so theres the potential for thousands of different, interesting metagames.
Hell, Gamefreak has dabbled a bit with this themselves, since they have a "Batle Spot Special" ladder every season that has weird rulesets, and fun gimmick tournaments like Simple Symphony recently (where you could only use single typed Pokemon). However, while the tournaments usually work out well, this gen, Battle Spot Special's userbase has been cratering very early every season because people usually just move back to VGC or Battle Spot SIngles. So I totally agree with you there, I want gamefreak to incentivize playing in multiple rulesets more besides a combinded leaderboard. Like say, maybe have Battle Point multipliers (something you use to buy competitive items in past games) for the more formats you consitently play or something. I do agree with you that Gamefreak could really stand to find SOME way to support more formats the at the very least, because if theres anything I've learned from playing competitive mons for over a decade, its that the more formats, the merrier!
This is how the game looked on mobile. The 3ds game is a port of the unity port
Besides, this whole argument is weird. We know the 3DS can do better shaders than the PS2, including more realistic. That isn't up for debate. DQ didn't even go for "realistic" water until 11
Faire enough, didn't know that.That's because the 3DS version was a straight port of the Unity phone game.
They already do balance patches. They're $40/$60 a popbalancing the metagame with patches every now and then if needed.
Following up on this I just connected the dots that the Snow Mountains are like the Lake District down South. Both have isolated settlements that require the train, which has similar stations no less, to gain access to the rest of the region. So in this regard, the Snow Mountains will be the second open worldish area of the game, with lots of trainers, Pokemon, hidden crevices for items and what not find, etc.I have a feeling the snow area is gonna be a surprise because of how small it seems compared to the rest of the region. Like the mountains must be explorable or there could be a cave or two hidden away.
Fire/Electric would be cool too, yeah. Not sure on Water/Steel or Grass/Fighting, Game freak have been spot on in avoiding previous typings for the final stages and I don't see them stopping that.That's a pretty good theory. I'm not a fan of sport theme Pokémon after Passimian. It'll definitely fit for this region. More so then my theories.
My hope is, Scorbunny evolves into a Fire/Electric Type with one of two hidden abilities the first being that it powers up all of its Fire/Electric moves or the Second would be a HA that gave it Fighting STAB similarly to Dhelmise ability giving it Steel type STAB.
I think its Final Evolution to looks like a Punk Fighting Type. A extremely fast Fighting looking type, as in the fastest starter to date, faster then Greninja. Why? It's a Rabbit, In real life rabbits rely on their speed and agility to survive. All of its Fire and Electric attacks coming threw its arms/hands like in a anime.
The bulky tank would go to Sobble. This one is out there but I see it's final evo being a Stegosaurus or Kentrosuarus. Stego - slow tank and Kentro - slightly faster tank. Water/Steel
Grookey - King Kong final evolution. Grass/Dark or Grass/Fighting insane physical attack with good speed.
...it's a mountain range. There's no way to even determine that from just the map. People still don't realize the map is missing details?
Doubles didn't exist until Gen 3 and the first VGC was in 2009 using Platinum, so technically doubles hasn't always been the go-to format.
As for Battle Spot Special, it's a neat idea for a seasonal ladder but has no long term staying appeal. One of the best parts of competitive Pokemon is continually improving oneself. It's a bit like fighting games but turn-based instead of real-time. You don't come up with new formats in fighting games every so often because it takes time and effort to learn and adapt to the new format on a high level. People might also have trouble comprehending all the formats and it will take more time to match people with specific rulesets. Similar to what Smash Ultimate experiences.
What I would propose is having the option to change clauses and allowed Pokemon when battling friends, like Smash currently offers, and having a number of standard rulesets when battling strangers (VGC, 3v3 singles, 6v6 singles, triple, rotation to name a few) for rated matches. GF can then extrapolate the data to see which ones are the more popular formats and go from there, balancing the metagame with patches every now and then if needed. Battle Spot Special can still co-exist to offer something more unique.
Yep. I have a feeling they will have two side areas in the mountains over here:...it's a mountain range. There's no way to even determine that from just the map. People still don't realize the map is missing details?
I think Kalos would connect via the trains. The path you mention goes into the forest, which is covered with clouds that were added after the map was drawn. Something is being hidden there, but I think its leading to a post game area that has not been shown off yet as an extension to the map. And yes I think both that area and Kalos will coexist.I've said this a few times but no one picked up on it or just didn't care...
On the Southeast part of the map if you zoom in I can barely make out a walking trail covered up by clouds. Since you're looking at the map do you see it too or am I imagining it?
Wouldn't Kalos connect to Southeast Galar?
I want to be excited but the static camera angles put a damper to thatIs anyone else stoked at the prospect of having 3 large cities to explore? I hope they are well designed this time with plenty to explore in them. Hopefully they take more inspiration from Castelia City rather than Lumiose.
I prefer the simplified colour palette. I think the orange in it's design is what is currently stopping me from picking Grookey over Sobble.Anyone else think Grookey would look better with a simplified color palette?
Actually, I think it should be the reverse, with an orange tail and ears.Anyone else think Grookey would look better with a simplified color palette?
Anyone else think Grookey would look better with a simplified color palette?
Mother of god. Please no!
That's actually a lot betterAnyone else think Grookey would look better with a simplified color palette?
Nah looks boringAnyone else think Grookey would look better with a simplified color palette?
Like this?Actually, I think it should be the reverse, with an orange tail and ears.
I agree with you. The tagline "forge your own path" even suggests a degree of nonlinearity.It's not a statment, is a hypothesis as you well say. I only trying to say, that's the map's form doesn't have to lead to a linear story.
...
Anyways, I just thought it might be fun. If anything it does provide 7 letters of a possible alphabet. Another thing giving a bit of credence to this theory is that you can see in other parts of the trailer writting using the same style and even seeing "E" pop up quite often leading me to believe it decrypts into English (where letter E is most common letter for words) which would also make sense, because Galar is based on the UK
I just visited Iberia. Can you imagine a Pokémon game based on Sevilla?
*drools*
Yeah that looks noticeably better for me. Its a bit garish, but there is an appeal there in a roundabout so bad its good kind of way, if that makes any sense.
I think it'll happen eventually. It's a prime location.
Just like Australia and Brazil. I think they're all inevitable.
I personally want a region based off of the Great Lakes. Ontario and Michigan. Niagara Falls.
